Version 1C G7 When the postman delivered a letter C It filled her dear heart full of joy D7 But she didn't know till she read the inside G7 C It was the last one from her darling boy G7 Dear Mom was the way that it started C I miss you so much it went on D7 Mom I didn't know that I loved you so G7 C But I'll prove it when this war is won G7 I'm writing this down in a trench Mom C Don't scold if it isn't so neat D7 You know as you did when I was a kid G7 C And I'd come home with mud on my feet G7 The captain just gave us our orders C And Mom we will carry them through D7 I'll finish this letter the first chance I get G7 C But now I'll just say I love you G7 Then the mother's old hands began to tremble C And she fought against tears in her eyes D7 But they came unashamed for there was no name G7 C And she knew that her darling had died G7 That night as she knelt by her bedside C She prayed Lord above hear my plea D7 And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight G7 C And dear God keep America free
